We spent the morning wandering through the red city with Gabriele, in and out of the sights and under the porticos. We thoroughly enjoyed his historical and cultural insights & perspective on modern life here. He also arranged tours with other Like a Local guides for us - an aperitivo tour with Sonia and hiking with Enrica which were fabulous & meant we covered a lot in 2 days. Gabriele’s tips on restaurants & shopping we’re spot on too, so we felt like we had a very authentic & local experience in Bologna..

Description
Get familiar with Bologna by exploring it on foot with a local guru by your side!
Bologna is a fabulous place to discover, but visitors often stick to the famous well-known sights and attractions. Yet the city features many great unexplored gems, corners, bars and restaurants. You just need to know where to find them.
The tour starts at the fascinating ‘Mercato Delle Erbe’ food market, where you'll learn about Bologna's typical flavours and aromas.
You'll then stroll across some of the most famous points of interest in the city, and hear legends and anecdotes of the oldest university in the Western World as you wander from the Archiginnasio to Via Zamboni.
Next, you'll discover the voice of Bologna's past by admiring the flow of the Canale delle Moline, and finally, find out why water has been the source of economic progress and prosperity for the city.
And it wouldn't be a proper local experience without uncovering some hidden gems along the way, getting local tips on where to eat the most delicious tagliatella or gelato in town, or where to shop authentic Italian products.
